Chapter 160 The Future

"Hey, doofus You're okay?"

Sunny reacted after a second or two, raising his head and staring at Effie with e about stuff"

Effie gave hied and turned away Everyone was too busy to pay him any attention Not that anyone ever did

Left alone, Sunny staggered and slowly lowered hi itself, over and over, growing louder and louder with each second

"A wo in a tide of monster… a woman with a bronze spear"

This was a part of the vision that Cassie had seen back at the beginning of their journey, on the night they had spent atop the giant statue of a headless knight

The one that was so harrowing that she had almost jumped into the dark waters of the cursed sea just to run away from her terror

It was also the key that connected every little piece of information that Sunny knew into one cohesive picture and let hi vision

ReadNovelFull what Cassie had told theht in stark detail:

'I saw the huht There was a lonely star burning in the black skies, and under its light, the castle was suddenly consu down its halls I saw a corpse in a golden ar in a tide ofsky with his arrows…'

All that time, Sunny was sure, for some reason, that Cassie saw the cataclysm that had devoured this land and turned it into a desolate hell, creating the Forgotten Shore The first part of the vision was certainly referring to how the curse of the all-consu darkness had broken free from its seven seals So he had just assumed that the other parts of the vision spoke about the past, too

But Effie's spear gave hi all this ties Cassie had described were not of the past, but of the future

Their future

Trelanced at Nephis, as using her powers to heal the wounded hunters, her ivory face contorted in a painful grimace His eyes ide and full of disbelief

It was all so clear!

She… she was the lonely star that burned in the dark skies above the Bright Castle, bringing with it fire and rivers of blood After all, her na on the runes used to write it, Star of Misfortune

The Star of Ruin

Sunny spent soto do with Nephis, but he should have been scared of what she was going to do to hi on a throne… why hadn't he realized the truth after seeing the Bright Lord for the first ti was the corpse in Cassie's vision

Effie was the wo in the sea of monsters The archer…Sunny didn't know yet, but he was sure that they would ether

He had always known that Nephis was guided by sooal was, but it was certainly not here, on the Forgotten Shore To achieve it, Changing Star had to find a way to return to the real world

That's why she had always been so unwavering and relentless in her ambition to move forward, overcome any obstacle, endure any pain At tih her conviction wasto fulfill her drea words she had told him on their first day in the Dark City suddenly resounded in his mind Only now, there was another, colder, andbeneath their surface:

"We will find a way to return No matter what has to be done, ill"

No matter what has to be done…

There was only one way to leave the Forgotten Shore, and it lay in the Crimson Spire No Sleeper could ever hope to reach that Gateway in one piece They would need an ar on corpses, one or two survivors would be able to escape from this cursed place

But Nephis didn't have an arather one, she would need to kill Gunlaug, usurp his power and eliht Castle in blood Only then would she be able to rally every single Sleeper left in the Dark City and lure the all too well that most of them would die because of it

No sane person would follow her
